The Crowdsurfing Trash Barrel

The Crowdsurfing Trash Barrel

A$AP Ferg has apparently embraced his identity as Rock-Festival Onyx, providing the day’s one moment when an entire crowd absolutely went the fuck off. This wasn’t always a good thing; I saw so many white bros mouthing along with the N-word in the front row. But lack of self-awareness aside, an amped-up crowd is a beautiful thing, and the assembled kids were absolutely losing it for random Trap Lord album tracks. The highlight: Someone held aloft an enormous blue trash barrel, and the crowd passed it along like it was a human crowdsurfer, apparently entirely OK with the garbage that was falling out consistently. The barrel made it all the way to the stage barrier, were a security guard grabbed it, set it down off to the side, and then shook his head and laughed. I have to assume that was a first for the guy.
